Obviously, it had been a drought until Henry, Lucchino, and Werner, with much experience with winning teams and stadium building, brought in good players and won two championships. I believe the team is headed toward more.

It is a shame that some berate management for not being baseball people. The legendary Tom Yawkey was there in ’46, but in the ensuing years, there wasn’t much winning baseball in this town.

Today baseball is big business, with much competition for players, requiring astute general managers and luck. This organization has done the job well. Give them a break.
